A Practical New Political Option

B.C. Needs a NEW Liberal Party

A new political alternative for British Columbians
who believe in practical, responsible,
and pragmatic government.

We are building a new political home in the broad political centre — grounded in individual freedom, equality of opportunity, responsible government, free enterprise, social tolerance, and confidence in the future.

Why a New Option

Many British Columbians want another choice.

British Columbia has changed.

Our economy, our communities, and the pressures facing people across the Province have changed with it.

Numerous British Columbians do not feel represented by an increasingly polarized political landscape. There is space in our politics for a voice that brings people together around practical, common-sense solutions.

The Future of B.C.

Looking forward, not backward.

This initiative is not about recreating yesterday's political organization. British Columbia has changed. Our economy has changed. The challenges facing families, businesses, and communities have changed.

Our goal is to build a modern political organization capable of developing serious, effective solutions for the British Columbia we are becoming.

A message from Herb Dhaliwal

Over the past while I have had the opportunity to speak with British Columbians from many different backgrounds and communities. I have heard a common concern: for many people, the political choices available now do not reflect their values or where they believe British Columbia should be headed.

The “NEW Liberal Party” is an effort to address that gap. We are building a modern political option rooted in individual freedom, equality of opportunity, responsible government, free enterprise, compassion, and confidence in the future — principles that belong in the political centre.

I believe there is a place for a real LIBERAL choice in British Columbian politics. This Party is being created to provide that important choice. By invoking the highly-respected philosophy of LIBERALISM, we recognize the historic popularity — including currently — of the Liberal brand in Canadian public affairs. Our initiative is sure to elicit strong approval from British Columbians eager to support a modern, moderate political movement. The “NEW Liberal Party” is pledged to building a better future for everyone privileged to call B.C. home.
